Day 2: One Who gets in the way

"What the bubbly flip are you supposed to be?" Osara said she gave a confused look at the new party member but kept her distance

"It...it looks like a pile of leave, but... it's floating..." Lapi said rather bluntly of her.

"I like her style. Three hundred and sixty degree protection." Zenna said hoping about.

"Many pardons fair maidens, but I am not female. Khamil has graced me with the name of Terry, " The Burmy said as it floated over in a proper manner.

"... WHAT!?" The three girl Pokémon say in unison and surprise.

"You know there are guys too... you know." Khamil said with a chuckle and a sigh. "I was just really luck catching girls. I was wondering when our first male member was going to show up and that one is Terry."

"Oh stop with the flattery, it's most gracious of you to invite me into your entourage. I shall not fail."

Terry/Burmy

Level:5

Gender: Male (Finally)

Nature: Gentle

Moves: Protect

Osara hopped over close to Terry. "Listen, touch me at all and you will be sleeping six feet underwater."

"Err... noted" Terry said as he felt no lies in what she said to him.

"Oh don't be like that Osara. He's a part of the team so don't just thrash him for a welcoming committee," Khamil said as he was a little worried of her attitude.

"Well, he's just as useful as Zenna over there." Osara said hopping in the lead ahead of them.

"Hey... I took out that Metapod" Zenna said quietly

"Stop it there, Your all part of the same team and you need to get along to get stronger in the end. So if you're done trash talking the newbie, Osara. I would like to continue." Khamil said as he walked ahead of the group in slight frustration.

Terry simply shook its leaves and followed along with Khamil. Lapi looked back at Osara and gave shook her head as she hopped along forward. Zenna didn't look back at her not once as she followed along. Osara scoffed slightly, and thought why she that this is the reason she didn't work in teams in the first place, but he took Khamil's demeanor to her rough housing Terry and kept in her mind as the group went on.

When they finally made it to Santalune City, Khamil was thrilled. He could finally use a Pokémon center after so long, and since it was the first thing he saw when he came right to the door and tried to open it before being pushed back by a red barrier which followed up with a disturbly familiar voice rearing its ugly head back.

"Oh no. We can't have you healing now, That would make it TOO easy now wouldn't it Khamil, Maybe after you fight the gym leader. Maybe just maybe, I let you use it... Once"it said with a insane cackle to make it all the more ominous.

Khamil, was about to give that voice a piece of his mind, until he realized he was in public and everyone would think he had gotten a mental breakdown. He took a deep breath and looked at his team and he looked at Osara and sighed a bit as he decided to go to the next route to see if he could catch anything. Along the way he battled a roller skater girl and for winning, Khamil got a brand new pair of roller skate shoes.

The gang went up to face the first trainer in a new route before it was relatively simple as first thought. The Psyduck never stood a chance against Lapi and lost before it could get even a single move, but it managed to get two tail whips in on her which prompted Khamil to switch and let Osara take a hit.

"I'm going to switch you out, Lapi" Khamil said as he was about to send Osara.

"...If it's alright with you, I'd like to stay in..." Lapi said with a slightly more determined voice than usual.

"You sure... you might faint if you he gets one good attack in on you" Khamil said in a worried voice as he was not sure that was the smartest call."

"I'll be fine... I think two hits will end this" Lapi said as she hopped back into battle.

"Tch* Lapi got spunk, I'll give her that." Osara said actually giving a complement for once.

~BATTLE START~

Vs. Rising Star Louise

Team: X O - - - -

Rising star Louise Litleo

Foe Litleo used Ember.

Lapi used Tackle.

It was a pretty standard exchange, Lapi got hit with ember slightly but it took little of the damage and hit back with a powerful tackle which knocked Litleo back a bit. Lapi was looking a little bit off and Khamil wanted to use a potion, but waved her ear denying it. She was going to fight this to the end. Before she went up to the plate again she turned around.

"You were right I can-" She started but stopped abruptly.

Foe Litleo used Tackle

Lapi fainted...

Though Khamil heard something so heart-wrenching it made him and all his Pokémon stand alert. It was a snapping noise and it wasn't like a snapping of a twig, It was the sound of a head being twisted beyond its limit. As that Litleo's Tackle connected and punted Lapi across the field making her body flail like a rag doll. Of everyone on Khamil's side, Osara came and ended the battle by attacking, and she was furious.

Osara used Bubble!

Foe Litleo used Leer

Osara defence went down.

Osara used Quick Attack!

Foe Litleo Fainted.

~ Battle End~

Osara, followed by Khamil and his remaining Pokemon, circled Lapi's body. While Louise left to revived her fainted Litleo They were unsure of what to make of it but it was Osara once again, who made the first move and placed a webbed hand on her wrist and listened for a heartbeat. Her eyes grew wide with fear and anxiety. Then for the first time, all of Khamil's Pokémon heard the mysterious voice.

"HA. HA. HA. PFFT. Oh she dead alright deader than dead wood. Not that it matters"

Osara looked around for the voice, but to no avail. Which made her spit bubbles everywhere.

"You... You... did this SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!" She said as she began to cry as she looked around.

" Sorry, I can't. I'm too busy...Pfft* HA. HA. LAUGHING AT YOUR MIESRY IT'S PRICELESS COMDEY GOLD. Just a simple crack of the neck she was down. But of course, you all will die staying with Ka booger-butt, I'm afraid."

While the Pokémon were stunned they became instantly hostile to the voice in the sky. Khamil though, was burying Lapi in the ground and marked her gravestone:

Lapi the Bunnelby

Level 3 - Level 9

Strong willed and Quiet.

He motioned his Pokémon to leave and they all looked confused but did so not before paying their respects. Khamil straightened his hat and pointed at the sky with a furious look in his face that made him look downright terrifying.

"Listen here, Whatever the hell you are, I won't allow you to allow to do as you please and that mistake on my head, but so help me I'm going to find you and humiliate you and we will not let you " He said in a dark voice, that resonated with his Pokémon which made them agree and nod their heads with Khamil. They were ready to face death itself after they just witnessed. "I won't let another trainer be harmed your petty challenge!"

"JIHAHAHAHA. You got spunk, and Oooh the fire in your eyes. It wounds me. OH GOD IT'S SO PAINFUL...NOT! I'll let you off with a saving grace. You get ONE free heal at the nearest Pokémon center, Why I am I giving this free of charge aren't I breaking my own rules, WELL IT'S ALL THE BETTER TO MAKE YOU SUFFER MY STEAL YOUR LAST GLIMMER OF HOPE AND DRAG YOU EVEN DEEPER INTO DARKNESS. This is the LAST FREEBIE YOUR GETTING. So with that, Bye Darlings!~"

Khamil took a deep breath and looked at the face of his Pokémon, regardless of his doubts, they all looked at him with fiery passion and were willing to take on the world. He nodded and paid his last respects to Lapi. They went into the nearby tall grass in and found a new friend so fast it wasn't even funny but they kept their original cheerful disposition.

"I guess I'm with you guys now, Great!" The Azurill said in cheerful young girl voice

Osara patted the newbie on the back and proceeded to hug her "Yeah, Sniff* Yeah Welcome to the team"

"Nice to meet you, ...Aqua" Khamil said with a smile but was trying hard not to cry but stood strong

Aqua/Azurill

Level: 6

Gender: Female

Nature: Hardy

Moves: Splash, Water gun, Tail Whip, Water Sport

Khamil with new found determination to stop the mysterious voice, told everyone except Osara and Aqua to leave the party, He began to train Osara and she finally started to be more lax, though she did have her moments of superiority, she quickly followed orders trained with sandbags and ate a dozen Poképuffs, but all in all they began to grow on each other more. Khamil was finally getting a foot in the right direction after what happened with Lapi which while the image of her just lying there still linger, the site of Osara become one with her train made Khamil smile all that more she began dodging more hits dealing more damage and overall living up to her claims, but instead of bragging without context, she had every reason to brag because she was their only hope of passing the first hurdle of their adventure, The Satalune Gym Leader, Viola.

When the other Pokémon got to see Osara again they were in awe of how she looked stronger. and more agile than ever before. It very clear if you saw in her eyes that she was glad for the training more than the training itself. She laughed and smiled more than she did before rather than smash talking aqua for example she actually began play with her, it was obvious that whole experience with Lapi really woke her up and it still surprised Khamil that these Pokémon would still go with him after what happened. It made him pumped.

After Khamil trained Osara to the point that would considered more than ready, and taking the risk not to use that free heal the mysterious voice gave them, used the last not contaminated potion to top Osara's health back to peak and headed straight for Viola with this all or nothing effort to win. Osara being the highest level is the only one at this moment that can properly fight her. He entered the gym and made their way to the end of the Gym where none other than Viola.

"That determined expression... That Glint in your eye that says you're up to the challenge. It's fantastic! Just Fantastic! Is it the first time challenging a Gym? Fantastic. Whether it's the tears of frustration that follow a loss or the blossoming of joy that. Comes with victory... They're both great subjects for my Camera. Fantastic! This'll be just fantastic! Now come at me! My lens is focused on victory- I won't let anything ruin this shot!" Viola said as she prepared for battle

"Alright, fine, I'll show the power of blood sweat and tears." He gave a cocky expression to her. "Try to get my good side of my face, you ready for this Osara?"

"You already know the answer to that but it's time to bring the current and let her feel the waves!" Osara said making wavy hand-gestures.

"Just be careful please..." Khamil said with a worried tone.

"Don't worry your placing the world in the right webbed appendages, I won't lose this!"

Khamil nodded "I, Khamil challenge you to a Gym leader match!"

~CUE POKEMON X/Y GYM LEADER THEME~

~BATTLE START~

Vs. Leader Viola!

O O - - - -

Leader Viola sent out Surskit!

Go, Osara!

Osara turned back toward Khamil and nodded in understanding!

Osara used pound

Osara began a simple run but began to out speed Surskit and ran straight for him as Khamil said to pound, and it connected with such ferocity that it was a critcal hit, but it wasn't enough to faint it yet .

Osara is so in sync with Khamil's wishes that it landed a critical hit!

Foe Surskit used Water Sport

Fire's power has weakened.

Foe Surskit used Quick attack.

Osara used Water Pulse.

It was no contest, Surskit used the extreme speed of quick attack to land a solid hit on Osara by sliding on the floor but it did little to no damage to Osara and Surskit was close enough to have the full force of a Water Pulse she even back flipped to her original position

Foe Surskit fainted

X O - - - -

Leader Viola sent out Vivillon.

Osara used Quick Attack.

Foe Vivillon used Infestation.

Osara has been infested and cannot switch out!

Osara took damage from the infestation.

Khamil would have end this battle in three turns before things go out of hand, He made Osara, commit a somewhat damaging quick attack. Infestation though hit Osara, which both damages the Pokémon but prevents the switching of another Pokémon for five turns, but Khamil new that he still out sped Vivillon by a mile.

Osara used Quick Attack.

Foe Vivillon used Pound

Osara took damage from the infestation.

This was getting hairy he needed to finished this fast or Osara won't last another round due to that Pound and infestation combo. He would have to risk it all here. Khamil took a deep breath and shout the command to Osara and she prepared herself having not a doubt it her mind regardless of what happened.

Osara used Water Pulse.

Foe Vivillon fainted...

Osara grew to level 17.

You defeated Leader Viola.

"You and your Pokemon have shown me a whole new depth of field! Fantastic! Just Fantastic!"

Khamil jumps around at the end and bring a fist up in the air with Osara not far behind.

"WE DID IT! HOLY MILKTANK WE REALLY DID IT!"

~BATTLE END~

"Young Trainer you...," Viola began, "No, it wasn't you alone you and your Frogadier have show me a whole new depth of field. Fantastic! Just Fantastic!"

~(BADGE GET! YEAHHHHHHHHH!)~

Ahem* Khamil received the Bug Badge from Viola!

And after giving the TM, Infestation to us, Khamil was smiling and was very gratified even if it was only one member that one it, It was a life or death choice and he choose right this time, and on top he has two heals now, well down to one after he goes there to restore Osara.

Before he left the town, Khamil meet Alexa, Viola's older sister and it also seems that she have met this "Professor Augustine Sycamore". That name, Khamil thought, He wondered what he would look like and pondered off not before Viola gave the Exp. Share to him.

He almost cried himself to tears as he took it and hugged and thanked her promptly before she left to go back to Lumiose City which was up the road of where his next challenges to identify what is the mysterious voice. With the salvation that is the , he and the rest of the motley crew headed to route 4 to continue on their way
